Where I would be bringing a new project to share with everyone with smiles, tonight our hearts are heavy as we all are saddened by the news tonight of our 19 hot shot expert firefighters that have lost their lives .

Our prayers go out to the families of all the these firefighters. How terribly sad for all the families.

I saw this idea a while back when I was looking through other wonderful Blogs( I can't remember where I saw this or I would give proper credit), this was a great idea so I had to go out and get some clothespins!

I use sponges for any kind of shading on projects and I used one triangle piece for multiple of colors and always had to remember which color was on it, or I would try to find an empty spot on that piece and add more color to it lol .

So here is an easy solution..

Cut off a triangle piece and clip it to the clothespin, once you are done using that specific color I take the coordinating marker and color one side of it and write the name of the color on it with the Journal marker.(this also saves getting all that ink on your fingers when applying shading)

I have this cute little Card stand that I keep on my crafting table, and now it is being used for cards on the top and clothespins on the bottom.

I felt like I was on a roll finishing one card, so I decided to start another one. I used the Embossing with Ink Technique that you can find HEREIts very simple, just ink up your embossing folder, put your CS inside and roll it through the Big Shot and you have embossed CS with Ink.

I have a Stamp set that has a Sleigh in it, but I wanted to do my own, so I found this cute card that used a Top note as the Sleigh. So out came the crafting stuff and I spent some time this morning making one. (I know WAY to early for Christmas!)

The top of the sleigh is still missing something, the more I look at it I'm sure i'll figure something out to put on it. It has a lot of Bling on it , so I didn't want to over do it! lol

I finally finished a card lol. I've been so busy with "home improvement" projects that I haven't had time to just sit and craft. But tonight I made that time once the boys were settled with what they wanted to do in their own places. Which means for me "peace time".

My Son (who is 16 w/ Special needs ), grew up with my very best friend's kids (ALL 6 of them). They have all been together since kindergarden!.(3 of them and my son are now Juniors in HS) I am known as the 2nd mom or Aunt since we have spent the last 11 years together!..We just found out that one of her kids girlfriend is having a Girl!..We are all very excited!..I was asked to do the Invitations for the baby shower(woohoo a crafty project!) and It also means i'm REALLY going to pull my sewing machine out to start some baby quilts!..When my son was born my MIL sewed all these little quilts for him (I say Little because he was 4pds and 7 1/2 wks early), I've kept every single one of them!.

On top of destroying my bathroom! I have put together a huge pile of Craft stuff that I decided to get rid of. On occasion I sell my Cards or make cards for others and as well during the Holidays I do Card kits for those I work with and this year will be even bigger since I'll have my Stamp a Stack open house going on!..I'm very excited about this!..

For now, I have multiple of stamp sets that I am getting rid of (most if not all are retired sets, and some are brand new never used retired sets) along with a few other things.

You can check it out here:

Just click above, maybe there is something you might want !

Ive been asked to come "Clean Out" my mother's craft room. Which I'm SO happy about, this usually means I come home with LOTS of goodies!.She is getting rid of material (lots of Christmas material) crafting goodies and a lot of sewing stuff. I'm going to put together a Grab bag of stuff and have a Lucky person get all of it for Free!That will come soon!

I am getting ready to embark on a project that has been a thorn (just like the painting of my Living room), This thorn is better known as my "what were they thinking" bathroom.

This is another room that I only painted when we moved in and didn't do any other work with it. I now look at it and just shake my head!

Here it is:

My "what were they thinking" Bathroom

Its a step down shower, this is the worst kind of tile to try to clean!

This is the Tile choice they picked. I feel like i'm on a raceway track with the grey tile in two strips.

They put in double Shower heads, which when we moved in didn't really work. So as you can see the head of the shower was removed.

Yep that's a Pink stripe that every time I look at it I think Why?..

There is a HUGE window (which is nice) however it faces the neighbors backyard..(not so nice) lol and out here it gets to be 115 degrees. It gets REALLY warm in that part of the bathroom. Its currently closed off across the archway with a Dark curtain to keep the heat out and the light from shining in the room at 5am.

Here is the Cabinets where the towels are stored right next to the shower

THIS is my project...

So all my wonderful DIY crafty neighbors , here is the million dollar question.

Can I remove the 70's doors and make it into a free standing shelf in the bathroom?.No doors?

Its right next to the shower as you can see and it just collects dust on the outside and the moisture from the hot water running does a number on the outside.I found these cute Bins by Martha Stewart at Home Depot that would fit towels in them and those could be put on the shelves..

My sister's and I used to play Slug bug in our parents vehicle on trips, parents hated it because we always ended up punching the other one in the arm a little harder then what we should!..and you know kids, they tend to get carried away!..I then saw this card with a VW bug on it and just had to try it out!..Cute Cute!..

Another Fun Tutorial I was looking at doing, its the same as the Coffee Cup dimensions so it made it easy to just make. I added a bit more to the card to my liking (the popcorn over the edge) First thing I thought about was how my boys are at the movie theatre when it comes to popcorn, before they get into the theatre you can look behind them and see most the popcorn on the ground already lol..

I think the one thing I would change would be the Popcorn, instead of using the 4 petal flower the 5 petal flower would look better..In my opinion : )

I've seen these "Starbuck's" Cards out there where the inside holds a gift card, it was fairly easy to make. I think it should be a little slimmer on the sides, but by going slimmer, the inside that holds the gift card would be to small.

Save those Pringles cans!..look at what you can do with pringles cans and a little DSP and Ribbon!

Start saving them!..This idea I will take with me for Christmas, I'm the "baker" in my extended family (with my oldest sister) and we LOVE to bake come Christmas time!..This is such a great idea! Lots of goodies can be put in these cans!

This is the last card for the day!..My Wonderful Husband has a "poker night" out , so my wonderful son and I are going on a mom and son dinner date!.I'm looking forward to it!..Maybe a little Miniature golf after !..So here's my last card for today..﻿

I love this Stamp Set from Stampin Up!..However The statement" The best thing in life aren't things" wouldnt be true if you saw my craft room!..I kinda like my things and it opens my world to creativity!...lol Still a Cute set!
